Philodendron burle-marxii – Burle Marx “Deco” (Small)

“Deco” is a one of the babies from OG Sono, which is part of my South Florida Collection. This Philodendron burle-marxii, often called Burle Marx Philodendron, has a quiet elegance that comes through in its form. The leaves are long and smooth, with a natural contour that feels architectural—almost like a piece of design in motion. Its growth habit is straightforward and forgiving, content to simply be left alone while it stretches and climbs at its own pace.

Named after Roberto Burle Marx, the Brazilian landscape architect who popularized tropical plants in modern design, this philodendron has become a favorite worldwide for its sculptural simplicity. “Deco” lives up to that legacy, standing as a reminder of how easy beauty can be. Hardy, adaptable, and graceful in shape, it is truly a beautifully easy plant to live with.
